Equality Sampler, The |
|
From Plum Street Samplers and
dedicated to the suffrage movement -
particularly to the three women who met at a
tea party one day and decided it was time to be
heard. They wrote the Declaration of
Sentiments, basing it on the Constitution and
its eloquence, adding the word "women" to the
opening statement. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the
middle figure holding the quill, is the one who
penned the words, with the encouragement,
input, and support of her friends Lucretia Mott
and Mary Ann McClintock. Many other important
people helped with this fierce movement, but
I've chosen to focus on these three, as they
were the original champions who ignited the
cause. Stitched on 36ct Vintage Homespun linen
with a stitch count of 180w x 185h. Uses Weeks
Dye Works (Chesapeake, Oilcloth, Grapevine,
Caper, Parchment, Driftwood, Cappuccino, Brick,
Baked Apple, Oscar, Grasshopper) and DMC floss
(832, 927, 647, 644, B5200, 3779, 632, and 3
skeins of 3371).
